Re: smelly a/c vents

["Benjamin M. Piecuch" <piecuch@hsd.utc.com>]

I get this same problem in my '98 GLX.  It seems to happen more,
however,
when I turn the normal vent on, AFTER I turn off the a/c.  The a/c seems
to be working fine.  It doesn't matter how long I've been driving.  I've 
got my 10k service on Friday, so any help (soon) would be very helpful.
Thanks.
